I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew Smith (the author of this article) at PyCon a few weeks ago. He was really interesting to talk to.
He said he was interviewing one of the people who walked on the moon a while back. The guy stepped out of the interview to take a phone call, and when he came back he said he just learned that one of the other men who had walked on the moon had just died. Andrew reflected on this, and recognized that these men are dying and soon there will be no one left alive who has walked on the moon.
He decided to track down each of the people who were still living who had walked on the moon, and hear their stories firsthand. The premise of the conversations was, "What do you do after you've walked on the moon?" He wrote a book about it, called Moondust. I haven't read it yet, but it's in my Amazon cart at the moment.
You might want to read the one-to-three-star reviews before ordering. If they are to be believed, Moondust is less about the astronauts and more about Andrew Smith.
